Daily Student Affirmation and Staff Pledge: Each day students say a daily affirmation and then teachers follow with our pledge. This is that affirmation & pledge for you to talk about with your child. This promise helps students to understand that we all believe in them and a way for them to affirm their role at McCornack and in the classroom!

Be a CARETAKER @ McCornack: Our focus these last few weeks of school is to be a CARETAKER. This year we met as a staff and combined our old expectations of being kind and being respectful to become be a CARETAKER. Being a caretaker includes these expectations in all areas of McCornack. Please help your student to remember to be a CARETAKER.  The kids have had fun with booster prize drawings & a few have even earned extra recess for their class!

Kindergarten Registration for the 25/26 School Year:  Will your child be 5 years old by September 1st? We are accepting registrations!!  Come by McCornack’s office to pick up a registration packet or visit 4j.lane.edu/kindergarten  

Parents of K-4 students needed for 5th Grade Promotion Set up:  We are looking for parent volunteers from K-4 to help with set up so that our 5th grade families can prepare for the evening with their children.  If you are available from 4-5:30 p.m, please contact the office.

5th Grade Promotion:  We want to have a chance to say good-bye to 5th grade students before they leave McCornack for middle school.  This milestone in life is important and we want to honor it! We are planning a walk-through promotion at McCornack for the 5th graders on Thursday, June 12 beginning at 6:00 p.m.  Please park in the lot and join the staff lining the bus loop.  Students will gather in the back driveway (near the back gym door). One at a time, they will be called to walk through the bus loop and be celebrated! Near the bike racks, students should find their 5th grade teacher to get a certificate of promotion, then enjoy light refreshments and photos with family and friends. 

5th Grade Clap Out:  We will have a 5th grade "clap out" again on June 13th beginning at 11:15 a.m. Bumble will guide our 5th graders through the building along a route of K-4 students who will congratulate them. They will exit through the office to the front of the building.  Once out front, we will have treats and music for them before we dismiss all K-4 students at 11:45 a.m..  If needed, 5th graders can go back in to gather belongings. Families are invited to join in the grass area in front of the main office to cheer as they exit.
